Since 1788 bridges have connected south of the river to downtown Richmond . The ferocity of the James River, industrialization and bridge construction have all combined to shape the modern footprint of the island today. The Mayo family of Richmond obtained a charter to construct and operate a toll bridge across the James River in 1785. The first bridge opened in 1788 and was the first span across the James River replacing earlier ferry crossings. The consolidation agreement between Manchester and Richmond in 1910 required a new bridge to connect Hull and 14th Streets.
